Can someone explain the collation between inputting a duration time for a
task and the outcome for the resource. Another words I input a task that
takes 4 hours. I use 4 resources (people) at 100% to complete the task. Does
project accept this and thinks it’s actually 16 hrs (4 people X 4 hrs) or
does the task formula in project still come on to 4hrs.
Now part 2. If I am trying to keep everyone at a 8 hr day, this 4hr task is
assigned to the 4 people, some of the personnel will be over 8 hr day because
of other tasks. How/when will project move-split the 4 hrs to the next day?
And against which resource? Do I need to input the 4 hr task 4 times to keep
each resource in-line for a 8 hrs day?
I’m a novelist, so be gentle if the question sounds silly……………..thanks
